DRAMATIC CLUB TO GIVE NOVEL PLAY
Cast Begins Practice for Outward Bound
Outward Bound, by Sutton Vane, is the play which the Dramatic Club has chosen for its annual production. The cast for the play has been select¬ ed, and rehearsals will start regularly in the near future.
The climax of this extraordinary play provides the sort of thrill that comes but once in a theatrical season. A strange company of shipmates, mys¬ tified by a vaguely oppressive feeling of unreaPty end uncertainty, sudden¬ ly discover that every last one of them is dead. Their ship, unmanned and without lights, is gliding noise¬ lessly across the River Styx, and one of the characters in terror asks the sole attendant whether they are bound for Heaven or Hell.
Outward Bound is the current dra¬ matic sensation of both London and New York. It is said that its philoso¬ phy will provoke violent controversy, but its dramatic appeal will be uni¬ versal.
The play is to be given under the direct'on of Miss Mabel L. Arey, the Dramatic Club Advisor, and will be given about the middle of February.
The cast is as follows:
Scrubby Theodore Bray
Ann Evelyn Bcsworth
Henry George McMullen
Mr. Prior Richard Parsons
Mrs. Clivenden-Banks, Doris Mattern Rev. William Duke . . Lloyd Plummer
Mrs. Midget Sylvia Sykes
Mr. Lengley Earl Smith
Rev. Frank Thompson, Theodore Robb
Why "Praeco?"
What does the name of the year¬ book mean? Does it have any signifi¬ cance? Is there really any meaning to the name?
Of course there is and some of these seniors ought to be ashamed of themselves for not knowing its sig¬ nificance! In 1913, when the first yearbook was published, there was a great discussion over the problem of a name. The faculty was asked for ideas and finally "Praeco," a sugges¬ tion from Mr. Gage, was adopted. The meaning of the name is this: the word comes from the latin praeco, praeconis —a herald, an announcer.
And so, sixteen years ago, the "Praeco" was adopted as the "herald" of this College..

Locals Lose, 61-30 to East Stroudsburg
The Eajt Stroudsburg Teachers College basketball team invaded the local gym Saturday night and carried off a 61-30 victory.
Desp t3 the cns-s'ded effect of the score, it was one of the best games we have seen this season. Coach Goer- gei's boys fought the whole way and they looked like a new team. The first half they had their opponents beaten, 19-18.
After tlis intermission, however, St:oudsbuig swung its resei-ve into the game and passed us. They pre¬ sorted a h;avy artillery of point scor¬ ers combined with a fast passing game. Price and Zimmerman were fhining 1 ghts for the visitors, both scoi'ing seven field goals.
Eveiy man on our team deserves cred't for p'ay ng a whale of a game. Captan Robb showed phencmenal ac¬ curacy 'n making five field goals. We are coming right along, and all we reed is a few breaks and the contin¬ ued support of the student body. Lock Haven Stroudsburg
Robb R.F Price
Brown L.F Sutin
Vonada C Bobst
Cowfer R.G. Zimmerman
Smith L.G Davies
Field goals: Robb 5, Brown 2, Von¬ ada 3, Cowfer 1, Smith 2, Piice 7, Philips 5, Rundle 2, Bobst 4, Zim¬ merman 7, Reese 1, Secor 2.
An especial honor was given to Lock Haven S. T. C. at the Reading Conference of the P. S. A. E., when Miss Jessie Scott Himes, director of the Kindergarten-Primary department of our College was elected to the pres¬ idency of the Kindergarten-Primary section of the State Association at its meeting on Deecember 27.
Miss Himes, in her new office, is now a member of the executive com¬ mittee of this department which is to meet in Harrisburg on Jan. 26 to staii; •ts plans for the work of the year. As the head of the department she is also delegate to the N. E. A. Conven¬ tion to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, in July. Another of her duties will be to preside at the meeting of the Kin- dergai ten-Primary Section at the next annual P. S. E. A. conference.
K ndergartens and kindergarten work is growing in importance all the time. The work in this state is in¬ creasing rapidly although Pennsyl¬ vania now ranks only 22nd among the states in kindergarten opportunities it presents. Awakening intorest is being manifested in many ways, as is indicated by calls for speakers to give addi-esses explaining and encouraging this work, and the stream of letters from superintendents asking for in¬ formation on the subject.
The State Department of Education is doing much to further the kinder¬ garten movement through law, through research, through printed publications, and through training teachers to make capable instructors for the classes. It is this latter fact that touches our interests most deep¬ ly. Perhaps when there are enough trained teachers to make kindergar¬ tens possible, there will be a law mak¬ ing them compulsory where there are enough children of proper age to war¬ rant the establishment of a kinder¬ garten. It is a fleld of ever increas¬ ing size and importance and it will be of greater and greater value as time goes on.
The kindergarten course offered at the State Teachers College, Lock Ha¬ ven, is one of the best and our insti¬ tution is the only one of the teachers colleges of Pennsylvania which offers a special training course in this field. We wish to congratulate Miss Himes on her new position and wish her all success in the duties which accompany it.
